Fantasy Black Satin is a marble that is sourced in India. Due to its hardness, it is well suited for kitchen countertop use. Fantasy Black Satin is a black marble with white veining and hints of gold scattered throughout the stone. This is a metamorphic stone which evolved from a limestone due to extreme heat and pressure. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched; meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and polished to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern.
